A nice stop for a inexpensive experience. The Manatees are abundant when water temperatures cool and the power plant is sending warm water into the Orange River. Nice park to walk some modest trails. The water is a bit dark, likely due to the Lake...More

In June you will Not see the manatees. It is still a nice place to see the butterfly gardens, kayak, take a limited walk, see the tiki hut, or to have kids play on the play ground, but manatees are only there when it is cold in Florida.If time is limited to visit places in June I would not put it on your list. Lake's Park has all the same things plus more.
